Now here you may be thinking, “But wait…on vacation last Summer I had a Mai Tai at ‘Benny’s Beachfront Bazooka Bar’ in Panama City, and it had pineapple juice and orange juice and red stuff and came in a hollowed-out cantaloupe with a live tree frog impaled on a sparkler as a garnish. This recipe leaves a bunch of stuff out!”
The short answer is no, it doesn’t. For the sad tale of how the original Mai Tai was bastardized into oblivion almost from the moment of conception, consult the sources listed above. For now, back to the drink…

This DIY project to make a tray is interesting — I’d be more likely to seek out a neat old tray at an antique store, but I appreciate the reduce-reuse-recycle ethic here.
Yet I’m more intrigued to figure out what drink one would make with the ingredients on the tray pictured. Vodka, grenadine, bitters (not sure which), and something in a green square-ish bottle. Ideas?
